Feature request: source function in PKGBUILD

I suggest to add an optional source function in PKGBUILD so that you can use makepkg -o also with packages that download the source without using the source array.
It would be very useful for git packages and the like, overall if the user is interested to see the source before actually compiling.

Just 2 cents..

anonymous_user is correct, that's what bugs.archlinux.org is for. Please head over there. Closing.
